Dear Diary,

Today’s visit was to Tibberton Primary. With just over 100 pupils there, I was able to follow my assembly with workshops for Reception right through to Year 6. And didn’t we have some fun?!? The pictures of incredibly odd Uncle John that the Reception and KS1 pupils drew were… well… incredible, and the stories they came up with off the top off their heads when prompted were hilarious — especially the one that kept on featuring the clumsy and forgetful policewoman! KS2 dreamt up some super original characters and stories, including a superhero who could spawn cheese, a girl who had figured out that her best friend was a top-secret agent, and a mad scientist called Dr Sausage!!! And the artwork produced by everyone throughout the day was simply amazing. (I think I need to take lessons from you these pupils, as I can’t draw at all.) Thank goodness I had plenty of certificates with me today! Sarah and all the staff helped out so much during my visit. It was such a superb day, and the pupils were so polite, so hard-working, and an absolute delight to spend time with. They provided constant fun and laughter, and spent so much time and attention on all the activities. The day flew by in a flash, and I was very sad to leave. But I look forward to seeing everyone again next year, when I return with WARNING: May Contain Dragons.
